Description
Dacus (Didacus) ficicola Bezzi
Dacus ficicola Bezzi, 1915: 100
Other synonyms: White (2006: 86) Material. KENYA: 3 females, Kinungi, Rt.A104, nr. Naivasha, 80km Nakuru, 2250m., 24.viii.2003, A. Freidberg (TAU).
Remarks. White (2006) made a note in the description matrix (on CD-ROM) that some specimens of D. ficicola Bezzi, 1915 exhibit aculeus torsion. However, this was interpreted as artifact (possibly due to postmortem change) and not mentioned in the written description. A specimen in the TAU collection shows quite convincing torsion and the the description should be modified to indicate that this species may exhibit torsion, although the reason for the apparent variation remains uncertain.
